Innovation Center & Testing Lab
We know thorough testing is required to solve processing issues and verify that custom designed equipment meets our customers’ desired final material requirements. We also understand that our customers should feel confident and familiar with their equipment operation. As part of Carrier Process Equipment Group, Heyl Patterson can test material in the full-service CPEG Test Lab, a premier material testing lab. The 15,000 square-foot test lab delivers bulk solids and material process testing in a pilot-scale testing environment. Access to the full line of CPEG test equipment also means multiple processes can be combined in a single test, allowing for multistep and multistage testing and the ability to recreate actual process line conditions.

Shipping Test Material
For testing, three cubic feet or a 55-gallon drum of representative material is required. Material should be shipped freight prepaid in a returnable shipping container.
Note: A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be affixed to the outside of the shipping container. No test material can be opened or handled without proper documentation of material composition and the associated safety precautions to be taken by our staff. If you do not have a formal MSDS, a blank form can be faxed for completion. Test material will be returned to you upon completion of tests.
